BOND REVERSED.
HIS ACTION Nv THE RABRiS CORPUS
CASES DECLARED ILLEGAL.
The United states supreme Court on the
Haboas Corpus Case.-Bond Decided to
Have Acted without Authority-The
Decision Based on nth Amendment.

WASHINGTON, December 5-The de-
cisiOn of the United States Supreme
Court in the ha5eds c0rpus cases which
has been looked for with so much inter
est, was rendered to-day. II was very
exhaustive, and was based upon the pro-
vision Of the Eleventh Amendment 10
the Constitution of the United States, aud
held that the imprisonment of the state
officials was without authority OF law
and their discharge was ordered
GIsT or THE DECISION.
Justice Matthews holds that the suit In
which Judge Bond issued the restraining
order in the Circuit Court, although nom
inally a suit against individuals, is in
reality a suit against the State OF Virgin
ia, and as such forbidden by the Eleventh
Amendment 10 the Federal Constitution
that the United States Circuit Court had
therefore, no authority to entertain such
suit, that in 50 doing and in issuing a
restraining order to prevent the officers
Of the State from discharging their duties
under the laws OF the State Judge Bond
was acting without constitutional war
rant, and that the restraining order and
all subsequent proceedings under II, in
cluding the arrest and Imprisonment OF
the petitioners were Illegal and without
authority. Tie court, Therefore, directs
that the petitioners, Attorney General
Ayers and Commonwealth Attorneys
Scott and McCabe, be at once discharged.
TIE STATE SUSTAINED AT ALL POINTS.
The opinion, which Is that of the whole
court, with the exception Of Justice
Harlan who dissents, sustains the State
Of Virginia at all points, and virtually
declares tha, State, as a political
sovereignty, cannot be sued nor coerced
in the Federal courts, either by an action
brought against her by name or by an
action brought against her officers in
their official capacity The court declares
that the Eleventh Amendment establishes
a distinction between contracts made by
individuals with each other and contracts
made by individuals with a State. The
latter class cannot be enforced by the
remedies used TO enforce the former
that is, By suits in the United States
COurts-and they, therefore, are without
sanction, except in so far as such sanction
Is given TO them by the honor and good
faith Of the contracting State. Such
State may consent to be sued In it, own
courts or in the Federal courts for breach
of contract, but it may at any time with.
draw such consent and resume its SOY.
